CST announced the rollout of its new educational program, ACT ONE, last fall. The program is designed to foster a love for and understanding of theater through instruction in the various aspects involved in bringing a production from script to stage. ACT ONE also encompasses CST’s summer theater camps and plans to stage a production of “Steel Magnolias” in the fall.
Located at 41-F Court Square in downtown Harrisonburg, Court Square Theater is operated by Arts Council of the Valley.
